The Kutaisi International Short Film Festival returns to audiences for its 6th edition, taking place from October 16–22!
This year, the festival once again brings together a diverse programme of films, Georgian and international filmmakers, and a wide range of exciting activities. Audiences in Georgia will have the opportunity to enjoy, completely free of charge: the Short Film Competition, premieres of Georgian feature films, retrospectives from different countries, Georgian cinema classics, contemporary European cinema, as well as lectures, discussions, and other festival activities.
TBC Bank remains the festival’s General Sponsor, supporting the festival for the fifth consecutive year.
Coca-Cola will be the Main Partner of the Kutaisi International Short Film Festival.
We would like to thank all our sponsors, supporters, friends of the festival, and, above all, our loyal audience. It is thanks to you that the festival continues to grow, evolve every year, and establish an important place within both the Georgian and European film industries.
Leave your footprints!
See you in Kutaisi!
